- Rated 5 out of 5by Ted, 8 years agoThis extension is fantastic, because very easy to check,adjust,prepare and many more advantage. Thanks...
- Rated 5 out of 5by Patrick Schoenbach, 8 years agoFantastic. However, since a few days, this addon interfers with ebay. Ebay no longer refreshes its pages when Forecastfox is active.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Daniel Fraga, 8 years agoGreat add-on, but there's a small and annoying bug: when I click on the icon, the dates are incorrect. For example: instead of October, 31 (today), it starts with the date from yesterday (October, 30). I imagine it should be easy to fix this bug, no? Thanks.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Cootmaster, 8 years agoits same issue i helped debug before , the icons revert to default after awhile im on 56.0
- Rated 5 out of 5by ghencea RO, 8 years agoIt doesn't keep the settings (location vertical options etc) after update (or it just reset itself periodically). I have to change every settings again.

addon "New Add-on Bar" will die in November 2017 - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 13233646, 8 years ago
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12358661, 8 years agoI do enjoy this thats why I gave it 5 stars. I just miss the ability to be able to move the status bar of the weather from the bottom to the top. Could you consider bring this feature back.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Netscaper, 8 years agoThat said, Mozilla products, particularly its (Firefox) browser is hopelessly bad year after year. It is now incompatible with one of the best weather add-ons. There's nothing we can do.
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 12597924, 8 years agoAll add-ons will remain compatible with this Firefox fork, including Forecastfox 2.8.4. If you try it, you won't leave it.

http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=2913287- Rated 5 out of 5by alex26, 8 years agoHello,
Thanks for your job, it's the best weather extension, very simply to use.
But i have a suggestion for the new weather bar: In the last versions (2.4.8 in Firefox especially) with the addon bar, all weather informations (7 days with nights) was on one line.
Now with the new version and new bar (web extension), to display all info (days and nights), it takes 2 lines.
Would it be possible to make it possible to have the information on a single line as was the case before with the addon bar ? The font size seems to be larger and so the 7 days of forecasts take 2 lines instead of one before.
I now use Opera as a browser because I don't like what Firefox becomes (deletion of extensions, java, flash player, ...) and Operar is lighter. Is theren't on this browser an addon bar similar to the one we had on Firefox?
Sorry for my bad English, i use google translate^^ (thanks for your google translate extension in firefox, it's perfect !)

With the settings you can limit the display of days, nights, icons, labels
> Is theren't on this browser an addon bar similar to the one we had on Firefox?
I do not know.
The current version of Forecastfox uses the same code for Firefox and Chrome (Opera is also based on the Chrome engine)

Saw a suggestion to try Forecast fox & I couldn't be happier. Love the look, layout & multitude of options, although I only changed two the location & Icons because I liked the defaults on all the others. Keep up the good work I love this add-on. :-)
- Rated 5 out of 5by ononoma, 8 years agoDear Developer,
Thanks for all your hard work. This extension has been great!
As Mozilla seems to be making future development/updates of really great extensions “precarious” I wanted to find out if this update will be problematic or breakdown in the future? In other words should I stay where I’m at?
I’m currently using ver. 2.48. Everything is working, including location. I’ve disabled auto updates because new FF compliance's have already broken a few extensions (or will cause breakdown in the future). The first example of this coming to mind is/was X-Notifier. The last two versions are FF compliant, but don’t function. They…. suck. Not the developers fault, he warned months ago this would happen with Moz changing policies and updates. Yet everyone initially screamed at him when it broke down. There was a temporarily a work around, rolling back 2 versions. This made everything work again, but then with another FF update, even the legacy version only partly works.
So In regards to your extension, would you recommend updating to the latest version, or stay with the previous one which I’m running?
My Machine; Window 7 64 bit, latest FF 64 bit version for windows.
One more issue, and if you don’t have time for this one no problem.
I’ve read that if users install FF 52 ESR (I’m not sure what it is and if it’s secure), all legacy versions will work. Wouldn’t using a legacy version of FF, as well as extension present a security risk?
This really sucks for FF developers and users. I really hate Chrome, it’s heavy on resources, super proprietary, nosy and intrusive as hell. I have no idea why Moz is killing the best part of FF, the extensions. Especially security and utilities extensions. The other stuff I could care less.
Also, if Moz is going to make life difficult to impossible (depending on which developer you’re talking to, and their extension) for developers, why don’t you all go to Opera? I’m betting a lot of people would follow.
It’s my second choice browser, and although it’s Chromium based, it’s lightweight and even has a VPN built in. But they have mostly lame apps.
You’re opinion/feedback on this whole Moz turning FF into Chrome and how to proceed would be appreciated!
Thanks for every thing!Developer response
posted 8 years agoSooner or later all major extensions will be redone for WebExtensions
So I recommend that you upgrade to the latest version - Rated 5 out of 5by Kelly, 8 years agoThanks for a fine addon. They should rename Aniweather to brokenbuggyweather
